some dumb questions

[mantra]

I am quite new to this.

I see there are some great hacks for older versions of Vb, such as v2.
If I install VB 2 with the hacks I wants, can I upgrade to VB3 and will my hacks work in VB 3?

Also, does anyone know if there is a hack for VB3 that will allow my members to get points and buy stuff such as DVDs, CDs, etc. I see the new uShop hack, but those are for actions within the forum.

Thanks

upgrading to vb3 works flawless with 99% of all vb2 hacks

but the hacks will stop working after the upgrade except you install the vb3 version of them (if there is one)

[mantra]

so vb2 hacks will not work with vb 3?
is that correct?

[Xenon]

exactly.

there may be one or two working, but the vast majority wont

U Cash and vBTrader is what you're looking for i think.

[mantra]

yes, something like uCash and vbTrader.

but uCash comes with uShop. I don't want my users to shop for forum stuff like (bold name, glow name, custom names, etc.), I want them to earn points and redeem them for DVDs and etc.

anything like that?
